    Soooo, I talked to the powers that be. We could hold it at my place if y’all want. Plenty of wood to play with. Plenty of room for tents, Rv’s, hammocks etc etc. One lousy host with an 88 year old mother that will pester the hell out of people. And then there’s my sister the forest warden :) For the most part they’ll be under house arrest which has never worked previously.
    One thing that’s lacking is hotels/motels in close vicinity. Glastonbury being the closest.
    Anyhow the offer is up.

    Nice Joe , if you would be willing to host and have the ability and room to do so then that would work for me.
    I am just afraid if I tried to pull it off I just don't have space.

    Much appreciated Joe!

    Cold beer and good company is all I need. I know that’s a no doubter.

    That's one heck of an offer Joe :yes: You sure you want all sorts of crazies running amok on your property, making massive firewood piles out of your log inventory? ;)

    Tannerite exploding targets were invented in Connecticut. I still have some of the first targets made ;)

    As this effort moves forward, if the host location has private well and septic, a rented port-o-john would head off any issues.

    Thanks for offering your place, jo191145!

    To get an idea of the effort involved, please read this thread if you haven't already.

    Central PA 2nd Annual Hawg Days GTG

    Obviously, attendance numbers dictate effort. Many hands make the work lighter.

    Joe ,
    I am willing to help you any way I can.
    Food , set-up , takedown and cleanup , whatever it takes.
    Not one to sit around on my keyster so whatever you have to do is fine with me.

    Thanks for taking the ball on this one.
